### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The worst lens I've ever seen
*by V***A on September 30, 2022*

1. The TELE-WIDE ring is mislabeled! TELE expands the viewing angle, and WIDE shrinks it!UPDATE: I received a kind letter from customer service, who offered several options to resolve the issue. It seems I was among the few customers (or even the only ones) who had the wrong zoom ring.2. You cannot focus the image in the entire TELE range.UPDATE: Turns out it's not a fault with the ARDUCAM lens, but with the IFWATER camera body. The distance between the lens seat and the sensor surface was neither 17.53 mm (which is standard for a C lens) nor 12.53 mm (CS lens), but around 14.5 mm, which made it impossible to focus properly. So I have to update the review for IFWATER camera too.

### ⭐ Very low quality lens; difficult to use
*by S***H on October 21, 2020*

This lens combines extremely poor quality with extremely challenging operation. The chromatic aberration on this lens is the worst I have ever seen. It's not purple fringing, it's a purple border! Operation of the lens is difficult. Controls are not well labeled. I have no idea which way the zoom works. And is "near-far" a reference to focus or zooming? For this price in a small lens, I was getting at least decent quality. Nope. Returned.
